Expect the Unexpected

(Fai seung dat yin)
Patrick Yau / Hongkong, 1998
Cantonese and Mandarin version / Czech and English subtitles, 87 min

This early Johnie To-produced film has all the typical characteristics of his style, even if it was directed by someone else. The daring combination of genres mixes a hard-boiled cop thriller with a youthful romantic comedy and is full of unexpected twists of fate.
